Meet Your Director

Matthew Wells, PT, DPT

MY HOBBIES: In his spare time, Matthew enjoys snowboarding, hiking, golfing, exercising, playing Ultimate Frisbee—which he played competitively for seven years at Scranton—and spending time with his friends and family. He has also been a volunteer fireman for 13 years in his hometown of Hillsborough.

When Matthew Wells was in high school, severe back pain prevented him from competing in golf tryouts. This ongoing pain landed him in outpatient physical therapy, where he became passionate about the profession once he realized that it combined his love for science, sports, and helping people. Matthew eventually decided that he wanted to become a physical therapist and went on to attend The University of Scranton, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science in 2016. He also obtained Dean’s List and was a member of Alpha Epsilon Delta Health Pre-Professional Honor Society at Scranton. Matthew then studied abroad for a semester in Rome with Loyola University Chicago before continuing at Scranton to earn a Doctor of Physical Therapy in 2019.

His education also included a strength and conditioning internship with the Lackawanna College football team, as well as a work-study job, where he developed and instructed sport-specific workout plans for various collegiate teams, including field hockey, swimming, lacrosse, volleyball, and tennis. In 2019, Matthew traveled to Guatemala for a physical therapy service trip, where he treated underserved and underprivileged patients in outpatient orthopedic and pediatric settings.

Matthew started working at Twin Boro Physical Therapy in September of 2019 as a staff physical therapist at the North Brunswick location. While working full time at North Brunswick, he also spent a great deal of time treating Division I college football athletes and NFL players at the Martinsville location. Matthew was promoted to Assistant Clinic Director of North Brunswick after three years, and then in 2022, he became be the Clinic Director of the new startup clinic in Skillman.

Matthew treats a variety of patients, but specializes in orthopedics, adolescent populations, advanced athletes and weekend warriors, and vestibular and post-surgical patients. Some of the techniques he uses frequently include advanced exercise prescription, joint mobilization and manipulation, motor control cueing, postural restoration, the McKenzie Method, the Mulligan technique, and blood flow restriction training. He utilizes a combination of hands-on manual therapy and exercises with a focus on the biopsychosocial model, in which psychological and social factors are carefully considered in addition to the physical issues each patient is dealing with. Through this unique and personalized approach, he achieves superior patient outcomes with high satisfaction rates.

Matthew is also a clinical educator for students working towards their physical therapy degree and he enjoys the challenges of helping to develop the next generation of physical therapists. He has completed continuing education courses on the shoulder, ACL rehab, and pain neuroscience, and obtained Blood Flow Restriction certification in 2021.

Another guiding principle for Matthew is Twin Boro’s One2Four Care Model, which is a unique approach to treatment that focuses on progressing patients from a low functional level to the peak performance required to return to their prior or preferred level of function. Matthew therefore focuses on helping his patients reach the goals that are most important to them and develops creative and individualized plans of care that will help patients achieve these goals. He believes in the power of education and provides tools to his patients that are designed to create optimal outcomes and improve performance in the activity they desire.

My experience at Twin Boro has been great. I called after being referred by my neurologist and I was scheduled for the next day. I attended for a few weeks and was given exercises by Matt Wells. He helped me relieve a lot of the tension in my neck and back and was incredibly kind the entire time. Thank you!

Matt Wells and his staff are absolutely incredible. They were integral in rehabbing my foot fracture, regaining functional mobility, and alleviating much of the chronic pain and soreness I succumbed to. Most importantly however, they were tremendously kind, patient, compassionate, and helpful throughout the process. I highly recommend Matt and Twin Boro for any physical therapy needs, as they are truly exemplary.

I was lucky to have Matt Wells as my therapist. He helped me recover after meniscus surgery. From barely moving my leg he got me to being able to run and jump again. Matt will challenge you with new exercises so that you can progress, but will never force you to do something you are not comfortable with. He really cares about his patients, is professional and has a good sense of humor. Everyone at the clinic is very friendly and made me feel comfortable. Thank you for your work!

Twin Boro PT is always my GoTo when I need PT for an injury, always. Matt K of Skillman Twin Boro (&sometimes Dayton Twin Boro) has been a really effective PT, offering compassion and advice in the practice of home assigned PT to further develop recovery from a physical injury! Thanks to Twin Boro! Always!

I went in for therapy for very severe ankle injury and sprain. The therapist at Skillman - Matt Wells - was very knowledgeable and I saw improvement just after a couple of sessions. My ankle is now very flexible and I can climb the stairs without any strain. Matt is very professional, encouraging and answered all my doubts patiently and cleared my anxieties regarding the injury.

When I needed physical therapy Twin Boro was strongly recommended by friends. Dr. Matt Wells was my primary therapist and worked with me and directed my activities to promote healing. The care I received there was professional and effective with the just the right amount of humor on some of those really difficult days.

I sought physical therapy for shoulder and neck pain. I am grateful to have been referred to Matt Wells at Twin Boro PT. He assessed my condition thoroughly before recommending exercises that could improve my range of motion, and reduce the pain I was experiencing performing everyday tasks. The exercises were supplemented with hands on work tailored to my symptoms, and heat and stim therapy. Although recovery can take time, I felt improvement after just a few sessions. Matt is a knowledgeable, deeply motivated therapist who is genuinely invested in the wellbeing of his patients. I would not hesitate to recommend Matt to anyone seeking physical therapy,
